I received my B.S. in Physics from UC Santa Barbara in 2022 and am now a UC Berkeley graduate student studying how massive stars explode at the end of their lives as supernovae. I am primarily focused on observing rare supernovae and related phenomena in visual and infrared wavelengths to determine the properties of the explosion and constrain the physical origin of some of the most energetic events in the universe. When I’m not observing or performing data analysis, I enjoy hiking, skiing, and spending time with my cat.
